LMGTWTY (Adore) to be released tomorrow

[vajohna]

In a way it's nice to have Billy confound our expectations. Remember when he was good at that?

[Butt Pope]

On a scale of "Astral Planes" to "Absolutely Groundbreaking!" I'd give it a 7.

I like the drum fills there, they add an interesting texture and tension to the song.

sometimes things being out of place is interesting, which is what I said.

I wonder if this version is exactly like the Rick Rubin final version or if they changed it too much while remastering it. It sounds too clean and the vocals are too loud, it's more like a 2014 mix than a 1998 one, if you know what I mean.

exactly.

I don't think so either.
This arrangement isn't THAT great, voice/singing is middle field.
World premiere of a b-side, nice, but I like the live version better.

[AveryLoren]

I think there's definitely some revisionist history going on in this track.

[vajohna]

Joey Waronker usually has a softer, more nuanced hand when it comes to tracking drums. See "Perfect," everything else he's ever done.

that's what i was thinking too.

[juliana]

My only criticism is the vocals. They sound manipulated.

Also, I thought it was a 2014 mix. There were so many.

Everything sounds awkwardly bolted on instead of being part of the song.

I can't believe Billy let Mike Byrne play on this!

yeah, I like that live version better too.. I especially love the part from 4:08 onwards, this new version sounds nothing like that.

Lol I thought this. Then I thought people should see the way mike played was instructed by billy.

Yep. Sort of Mike Burnsian. They kind of interrupt the flow and groove of the song. Don't say that's interesting. It's not.

They definitely weren't brickwalling it like this in 1998.

I had to have the volume on my computer at like 3. Mixed way too loud.

Was it too hard to just straight up release it like it was in 98? Really?

[Baffler_Meal]

Well that was completely fucking underwhelming, especially given the mystical hype over the last decade. Billy's voice was way too loud and prominent in the mix and I agree on the opinions about the drumming, as well.

Well... ever hear Californication? Sure, it was released in 1999 but close damn enough. Everything Rubin touches is pretty brickwalled.

[milk-plus]

Damn, that's brickwalled to death. My ears hurt just from seeing the image.

[toase]

Those strings are

[pavementtune]

yea well, we still have the live version, so... I never understood the hype about the "magic" Rubin track (or this song in general.)

Not sure if it was a good idea to advertise the Adore reissue with this one.
Is anybody thinking "hell yea, gotta buy that boxset" after hearing this?

I get the same feeling from this that I got when I first heard some of the other recorded versions of songs from the adore era. To Sheila for example, I remember thinking 'why did they record it this way?'.. But now it's one of my all time favorites. It sounds like an adore era track for sure.

[Forgotten Child]

I think this is a catchy song for the general/casual fan, so I understand why they are using it.

[Venom]

Meh, the acoustic demo sounds better to me than this. Total letdown in my opinion (which was expected actually).

[killtrocity]

This doesn't bode well for the adore "remasters". Why the fuck is this >90% clipped?
